Preview: Project Nim (2011)

Synopsis:

A documentary about the 1970's chimpanzee experiement that moved a handful of these critters into human households where they were instructed to raise them from infancy forward as if they were their own children.

• Poster: C-

Review:

While it's a cute and relevant photo, the background and large lettering is not just distracting, but downright bland.

• Trailer: B

Review:

It looks like a fairly interesting documentary about a scientific experiment that taught us a great deal about chimps.

Oscar Prospects:

The Academy doesn't often recognize science experiments in this category. The last one I can remember being nominated is Chimps: So Like Us just over 20 years ago.

Release Date:
